Question from a newbie.
« on: September 29, 2012, 10:41:16 am »
So after a LONG time pondering, I have decided to start a Mame cab.  I want to do a bartop cab for two players.  I have been looking for some plans for one, but I find mostly ones for a single player.  Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks a head of time!

OH! and I want 6-8 buttons for each control.  I meant to add that.

Welcome aboard, BoLt.

If you're looking for button layouts your first stop is Slagcoin for priintable 1:1 layouts.  Cardboard boxes are excellent for test panels.

If you'd like to find some two player bartops like Le Chuck's Darkade, Use the search button up top to look for "Bartop" in the "Project Announcements" forum for more ideas.  Another good search term is "weecade".  (Sorry, PBJ.   :lol)
